This city in the heart of the American heartland has a thriving Jewish community of over 150 families, as well as an Eruv, Day School, Vaad Hakashruth and more. There are approximately 18,000 Jews in the area, offering significant potential to bring additional Jews into the tenets of taharah and Torah. The mikvah stood as a key point of connection between Jews in the region, of various observance levels, and Jewish life. However, the mikvah’s age began to take its toll and made it particularly difficult to build relationships with lesser observant Jews. The local rabbi, Rabbi Daniel Rockoff, reached out to Mikvah USA, imploring our organization to help with this sacred mission. Mikvah USA stepped up the plate and helped complete an extensive renovation. The mikvah is now fresh, upscale and contemporary – and a significant attraction towards Torah and mitzvos.

Year after year, Mikvah USA successfully completes several mikvah projects, and launches and/or progresses multiple others. The mission will only be complete when every Jew in North America will find it easy and appealing to adhere to the highest level of taharah.
